That's right! An Indian motor company has now let loose a new "People's Car."
Looking like a small deformed yellow monster, it is now the world's Cheapest Car.

Costing less than $2,500, it is known as the Tata Nano.
Sporting a 65mph top speed from a 33hp two-cylinder engine, you and three other passengers would be able to acheive nearly 50 miles to the gallon.

It is uncertain if it will ever arrive over here in North America.
Yet, environmentals are already worried about the climate effects of future mass-motoring in the Third World, which will result from this car.
Fear of more pollution and increase demand for oil. Is this Pikachu car a friend or foe?

...I dunno, all I know is I want that little S.O.B.!

From the looks of it, it seems just what americans need. Here's something that's cheap, fuel efficent, and you wouldn't look like an idiot to drive it. I'd buy it.

It also has two cylinders and goes 65 miles an hour, tops. I'll be there at your funeral when your body is crushed into liquid shit because some disgruntled fuck in a bigger, more powerful vehicle got angry at your envirocar.

Not a good vehicle for most American roads.

As long as I avoid I-65 and stay clear of the truck depot in town I'll be just fine then.

To give you an idea of how narrow it is, imagine sitting in a golf cart 1 foot above the ground.

Smart car's deformed cousin.

Also, its rear-engined, rear-wheel-drive. Just like a Porsche 911!

If I want small and yellow, I'll continue to drive my Fiat 500.

Only difference is, when ladies see you drive that, they will not throw themselves onto your hood wanting sweet hot sex.

In terms of the car, wow, I thought the Smart car was bad...but jeez, this thing is worse. Personally the only car that I'm willing to get in, that almost that size, is the Mini Cooper.

Dude, the old Fiat 500 is a car ENFORCED BY GOD for girls, to make them look sexy.
Any man in a Fiat 500 should be murdered, and the car donated to a woman.

Yeah. I don't feel like having my splattered organs wiped on the road by some "disgruntled fuck".

...and I wouldn't feel especially comfortable inside a narrow, cheap, metal Pikachu, anyway.

Hell if you need to get out of a tight spot, just use Volt tackle! That solves everything!

But seriously, aside from all jokes, I think that it'd make a damned decent first car. I mean yeah, it is a little compact peice of shit and would get raped by a golf cart, but it seems to be wallet friendly
